The short answer

Audit the business identity across the profile, website and important directories before building more citations. Accurate records matter more than multiplying conflicting entries.

Does this sound like your situation?

Common scenario · not a claimed client case

The Google profile shows one number, a directory shows another and an old address appears on a local listing. Customers cannot tell which record is current, especially after a move or rebrand.

Call NowWhatsApp

Why this issue can happen

Old agency work, duplicate directory accounts and changes made on only one platform can leave a fragmented business identity. A listing may also be controlled by a publisher or an account you no longer use.

When it starts—and how long it can last

Create a change log for moves, names and phone numbers and record when each directory was last checked. Publisher processes differ, so cleanup is tracked record by record rather than with a guaranteed universal finish date.

At the start of an enquiry, we ask for the first-noticed date, last working state and relevant change history. The elapsed time for your business is established from those records, not guessed from another client’s experience.

What to check before changing anything

  1. 01

    Inventory relevant directories and known duplicate records.

  3. 03

    Check access and each platform’s correction route.

  4. 04

    Separate live corrections from requests still awaiting publication.

Annual prices: Silver $1,080, Gold $1,620, Platinum $2,160, billed yearly. Progress timings are estimates; rankings and Google approvals are not guaranteed.

What useful progress looks like

Keep a record of the starting condition, approved changes, publication or case status, and the customer-facing result. We distinguish work completed from a request awaiting Google or another publisher. Calls, directions, clicks and actual enquiries should be interpreted separately; an estimated map position is not proof of a booked customer.

Questions before you start

Can you promise a specific outcome or completion date?

No. The review starts with your actual status and business records. Google decisions, access and publisher processes can affect timing, while search results vary by query and customer location.

What should I bring to the first conversation?

The profile URL, actual business details, screenshots of the issue, when you first noticed it and any existing support case reference. Do not send passwords or sensitive documents through a public message.

Is every listed package the right service for this issue?

No. The full rate cards show available services. We first determine whether you need ongoing management, a specific one-time support task or separately scoped website or directory work.
